It was a pleasure for all of us at UF–Jax to meet our colleagues from across the state at Symposium. There were lots of great lectures, presentations and competitions throughout the weekend. Emergency medicine is definitely picking up steam in our state. Thanks to all of our staff, residents and students who contributed to the weekend. We are looking forward to seeing everyone in Denver at ACEP. Good luck to our SimWars team, who will be competing at ACEP.

Our interns have really hit the ground running here at UF–Jax. We are lucky to have a fun and hard-working class who are already making our program better. It is exciting to see them continue to grow and become leaders in our shop.

We recently had a great time escaping the hospital while having a conference at Jax Beach with our surf medicine expert, Dr. Andrew Schmidt. Learning about all of the emergencies that can happen at the beach and ocean was eye-opening and fun. It was great to add these skills to our toolkit, especially living here in Florida.

Good luck to all of the medical students we have hosted during the away rotation season. We have had lots of great, motivated students who will surely do great in the interview and match season. Enjoy the rest of your 4th year! ■
